The Lust List #1

Hey everyone! Yay it’s Friday and I know a lot of you are excited at the prospect of having a lie in this weekend, catching up on your favourite shows, or simply having a day out at the mall perusing the shops and grabbing some Froyo! I will be doing a few of those things myself!

So today’s post is the first of a series I’d like to launch on my blog, you all know how much of a shopaholic I am, and the sheer excitement I get from discovering new pieces to add to my wardrobe! Not only do I peruse the shops, I also scour the web and this will be a great way to share the things I find with you all, and also perfect for those who need some inspiration, especially when you’ve been lusting over particular item, but have no idea where to get it from.

2. MISSGUIDED Bathing Suit ~ No-one told me the least exciting part of a holiday was actually the planning part, looking for the right hotels, budget stretching, timings that suit everyone etc, however, finding gorgeous bathing suits in between hotel reviews has been fun! This one is very me!

3. MISSGUIDED Gladiator Sandals ~ Flats?! Yes flats. I’m a heel girl through and through, but I seem to have fallen in love with these flat gladiators sandals. They’ll go really well with flowy dresses! I’ll have them in black too please!

5. #GIRLBOSS Book ~ At the top of my Book Lust List for some time now, I’ll be having a good read if it this summer!

6. STREET LEVEL Leather Tote ~ I’ve been searching for the perfect Nude Tote, something that’s just big enough to hold all my stuff. I’ve had my black Zara one which goes with everything for a while now, needed to switch it up! This even comes with a little wristlet! How cute!

8. ASOS Boyfriend Jeans ~ Still on the quest to find the perfect pair of BF Jeans, these one’s seem cool! I’ve been told to also check out ShopBop for some of these by one of my lovely readers. I may just do that!

9. ASOS Scuba Halter Dress ~ I’ve been loving soft pink and peachy tones recently and been gearing towards a lot of dresses! This one is absolutely gorgeous, and seeing as I’ve got a wedding to attend next week, I think it’ll go down well with soft makeup and simple hair.

I need to make a list like this… But am so scared of making a long list that may leave me ungrateful for the little I have…. Because the things I want are so many and now I want your entire list too….. Perfection…. Your taste is a gift.. Am excited about this new series….. Hope you achieve all them goals you just posted ….

Shirley, thank you! My friend is getting married in Italy in two weeks and I haven’t got my dress yet. This peach/pink ASOS dress is perfect – I’m buying it on payday. I’ll make sure to come back and buy it through your link THANK YOU!

Love this list! I just finished reading GirlBoss myself actually, Sophia’s really inspirational… its a sassy book but its got a lot of great advice for free lancers I’m lusting for a pair of Quay Australia sunnies! x

I bought Girl Boss in April while I was in Canada and I can confirm it is indeed worth a read. Sophia is such a bad ass and I got so much confidence and encouragement from it to keep going with my new blog

Hi Shirley, You are absolutely gorgeous and your blog is super cool! I am so obsessed about it that I would like to know how do you make all your pics look so bright and so professional? I guess you are using some kind of photo shop. I do photo shop in my pics but, do not know how to get the same results you do with yours.. Also, whats the name of the plugin you use to display the sponsors products above. Is it in your blog’s theme or is a plug in? Shirley, please, I would be so grateful if you could answer those question. You look like an angel! Your blog is stunning and everything is so perfect! I am totally obsessed about it! Congrats for having such a good taste! Shirley, thank you for taking the time reading my comment. I really appreciate! My email: kuka.kuka@aol.com Thank you!

I am also lusting and wanting more cat framed shades. I love the funky mirrored lenses but the two pair I have are both heart shaped and don’t really flatter my round face (but they are still cute) so I would love to come across cat eyed shaped fun colored mirrored glasses. My eyes are already slanted so I find those work well for me.

That midi skirt is so so beautiful! But midi skirts look so right when I’m not wearing them Based on that, Shirley, please do a video or blogpost about items of clothing you love but you feel are a challenge for you to pull off. I look forward to hearing your opinion!
